NOW that Hosni Mubarak has decided to pack in the presidency of Egypt, what happens now?
We have the army taking over in the short-term, until elections take place. The presidents of Algeria, Saudi Arabia and Libya must be shaking in their boots.
There have already been demonstrations in Algeria, quickly put down by the army. Is there trouble ahead? We have two main parties in Egypt, Muslims who are the majority, and Christians the minority.
One hopes these rival fractions can live together peacefully; only time will tell.
